A group of guys in Cape Town have decided to get their "revenge" on the man bun (or top knot, if you prefer) haircut, by driving around town and CUTTING OFF man buns. Yeh, that's probably illegal.

In their Stop the Knot video, the gang attack unsuspecting hipster gents with scissors and cut off the offensive mini buns made popular by the likes of Harry Styles and Bradley Cooper .

The comedy group Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues who created this video, wrote that they disliked the "douchey 'top knot' hairstyle that has suddenly sprouted up out of nowhere" and decided to stop it with drive-by haircuts.

It seems a *bit* like the pot calling the kettle black considering that one member of the group has neck tattoos, piercings and a possibly fake moustache.

But if that seems too good to be true it probably is. Lots of commenters have suggested that the video is satirical and staged, pointing out that the men having the hair cut don't really react to it as you'd expect.

We hope it's fake or there are going to be some very scared man bun wearers out there.
